The idea that the College Football Playoff is considering a proposal to expand to a 12-team model was welcome news for a lot of people. Particularly those closer to home here in Orlando with what the UCF program has gone through over the past five years.
Nobody has questioned the validity of the current playoff system more than Knights fans, who watched their team left out of the mix in back-to-back seasons in 2017-18 despite undefeated records.
“We’re very excited. This is a game-changer for us,” new UCF coach Gus Malzahn said in a statement to the Orlando Sentinel. “This is what’s best for college football.”
